I wanna thank everyone who answered my previous question...I'd also like to thank all the members here. I wouldn't have gotten through this process without all the info given in this forum...THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Here's my new questions...

I'm going to pick up my wife in manila in JUNE. She passed her interview and received her CR-1 visa.

What will happen here at the POE?

Once she gets here whats the next step? Will she receive her ss card or do i have to apply for it?

What documents will immigration send me to fill out?

What doc./forms do I fill out when she is here and when do i fill them out?

Can my wife travel back to the philippines once she is here? If so how many times? And will she be able to come back to the US without any problems?

Thanks Again everyone...

We entered the US through Detroit 4/10. After reading several posts here it is obvious customs at each airport is a little different. In Detroit the whole process is completed in a special processing line, the immigrant's index fingerprint is taken, the agent asked us what our marriage date was and it was completed in about 5 minutes. One week later we received a welcome letter from USCIS and yesterday we received a green card. We have not received a social security card yet but we did put a check on the DS-230.
